Hi Jeroen,
I agree with you that Line B is better for black, but instead of
23. Bh5 the move 23. Be3 seems to be better. I could only find a
perpetual for black.
After 18... f5 19. Be2 Na5 20. Qa4 c6 21. c4 Qd8
[D]2rqr1k1/pp2b1pp/2p5/n4p2/Q1PP1B2/P6P/3NBPb1/R3R1K1 w - -
there is:
A) 22. Kxg2 Bg5
[D]2rqr1k1/pp4pp/2p5/n4pb1/Q1PP1B2/P6P/3NBPK1/R3R3 w - - 0 23
23. Be3
(23. Bxg5? Qxg5+ -/+)
(23. Bh5 Rf8 24. Be3 f4 25. Bxf4 Bxf4 26. Nf3 =/+)
23... Bxe3
(23... f4 24. Bg4 +/-)
24. fxe3 Qg5+ 25. Kh1 Rxe3 26. Nf3 Qg3
[D]2r3k1/pp4pp/2p5/n4p2/Q1PP4/P3rNqP/4B3/R3R2K w - - 0 27
27. Qxa5
(27. Ng1 Nb3)
27... Rxe2 28. Rxe2 Qxf3+ 29. Rg2 Qxh3+ =
B) 22. Bh5 Rf8 23. Kxg2
(23. Rxe7 Qxe7 24. Kxg2
(24. Qxa5 Qh4 25. Kxg2 Qxf4 -/+)
24... Qh4 25. Bg3 Qxh5 26. Qxa5 Qg6 unclear)
23... Bg5 see 22. Kg2
